His argument for becoming a lawyer thus far has been:

i think when it comes to arguing and proving something is right or wrong, i can be very anal, especially when i know 100% i am right and the other person is not admitting to it.

Had he said something like "I am very good at research and writing", then I might believe it.
One can also look at how he's going about trying to get into school. High school courses one at a time? What a total waste of time and money. He's likely not done any research whatsoever (likely considering he said 8.5 years of school) on the fastest way to do it.
If I was to do it in his situation, I'd do this:
- Finish my GED while studying for LSAT. If I got 165+, I'd apply to as many law schools as I could that would accept mature students. If accepted, great, if not, then plan B.
Plan B
- Go to college while taking distance university courses that would accept mature students
- Take as many courses as possible that transfer while getting 90+ marks
- Transfer to a university in second year and pick the easiest subjects that would allow for a high GPA while taking a more than full course load
- Study for LSAT again and aim to get 160+
- After 90 credits (or whatever minimums law schools wants), start applying. This could potentially happen 2 years assuming a stacked summer course schedule.
Plan C
Finish degree in 3 years, find other job.
I've just cut 8.5 years down to a minimum of 3 (direct to law school) to a maximum of 6.5 years (1 year college, 2.5 years uni, 3 years law).
